CLAIM INFORMATION SHORT TERM DISABILITY WHEN DO YOU NOTIFY UNUM OF A CLAIM? We encourage you to notify us of your claim as soon as possible, so that a claim decision can be made in a timely manner. Notice of claim should be sent within 20 days after the date your disability begins. In addition, you must send Unum proof of your claim no later than one year after the date your disability begins unless you prove that it was not possible to do so. Failure to furnish such proof within one year shall not invalidate or reduce any claim if it shall be shown not to have been reasonably possible to furnish such proof within such time, provided such proof was furnished as soon as reasonably possible. You must notify us immediately when you return to work in any capacity. HOW DO YOU FILE PROOF OF CLAIM? You and your Employer must fill out your own sections of the claim form and then give it to your attending physician. Your physician should fill out his or her section of the form and send it directly to Unum. The form to use to submit your proof of claim is available from your Employer, or you can request the form from us. If you do not receive the form from Unum or your Employer within 15 days of your request, you shall be deemed to have complied with the requirement upon submitting written proof covering the occurrence, character and extent of the loss. Please send Unum proof of claim without waiting for the form. WHAT INFORMATION IS NEEDED AS PROOF OF YOUR CLAIM? Proof of your claim, provided at your expense, must show: - the date your disability began; - the existence and cause of your sickness or injury; - that your sickness or injury causes you to have limitations on your functioning and restrictions on your activities preventing you from performing the material and substantial duties of your regular occupation; - that you are under the regular care of a physician; - the name and address of any hospital or institution where you received treatment, including all attending physicians; and - the appropriate documentation of your weekly earnings, any disability earnings, and any deductible sources of income. In some cases, you will be required to give Unum authorization to obtain additional medical information and to provide non-medical information as part of your proof of claim, or proof of continuing disability. We may also require that you send us appropriate financial records, which may include income tax returns, which we believe are necessary to substantiate your income. We may request that you send periodic proof of your claim. This proof, provided at your expense, must be received within 45 days of a request by us. Unum will deny your claim, or stop sending you payments, if the appropriate information is not submitted. STD-CLM-1 (2/1/2016) 8

We may require you to be examined by a physician, other medical practitioner and/or vocational expert of our choice. Unum will pay for this examination. We can require an examination as often as it is reasonable to do so. We may also require you to meet with and be interviewed by an authorized Unum Representative. Unum will deny your claim, or stop sending you payments, if you fail to comply with our requests. TO WHOM WILL UNUM MAKE PAYMENTS? Unum will make payments to you. WHAT HAPPENS IF UNUM OVERPAYS YOUR CLAIM? Unum has the right to recover any overpayments due to: - fraud; - any error Unum makes in processing a claim; - disability earnings; or - deductible sources of income. You must reimburse us in full. We will determine the method by which the repayment is to be made which may include reducing or withholding future payments including the minimum weekly payment.

LTD-CLM-2 (2/1/2016) 11

GENERAL PROVISIONS WHAT IS THE CERTIFICATE OF COVERAGE? This certificate of coverage is a written statement prepared by Unum and may include attachments. It tells you: - the coverage for which you may be entitled; - to whom Unum will make a payment; and - the limitations, exclusions and requirements that apply within a plan. WHEN ARE YOU ELIGIBLE FOR COVERAGE? If you are working for your Employer in an eligible group, the date you are eligible for coverage is the later of: - the plan effective date; or - the day after you complete your waiting period. WHEN DOES YOUR COVERAGE BEGIN? When your Employer pays 100% of the cost of your coverage under a plan, you will be covered at 12:01 a.m. on the date you are eligible for coverage. When you and your Employer share the cost of your coverage under a plan or when you pay 100% of the cost yourself, you will be covered at 12:01 a.m. on the latest of: - the date you are eligible for coverage, if you apply for insurance on or before that date; - the date you apply for insurance, if you apply within 31 days after your eligibility date; or - the date Unum approves your application, if evidence of insurability is required. Evidence of insurability is required if you: - are a late applicant, which means you apply for coverage more than 31 days after the date you are eligible for coverage; or - voluntarily cancelled your coverage and are reapplying. An evidence of insurability form can be obtained from your Employer. WHAT IF YOU ARE ABSENT FROM WORK ON THE DATE YOUR COVERAGE WOULD NORMALLY BEGIN? If you are absent from work due to injury, sickness, temporary layoff or leave of absence, your coverage will begin on the date you return to active employment. ONCE YOUR COVERAGE BEGINS, WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU ARE TEMPORARILY NOT WORKING? If you are on a temporary layoff, and if premium is paid, you will be covered through the end of the month that immediately follows the month in which your temporary layoff begins. EMPLOYEE-1 (2/1/2016) 12

If you are on a leave of absence, and if premium is paid, you will be covered through the end of the month that immediately follows the month in which your leave of absence begins. WHEN WILL CHANGES TO YOUR COVERAGE TAKE EFFECT? Once your coverage begins, any increased or additional coverage will take effect immediately if you are in active employment or if you are on a covered layoff or leave of absence. If you are not in active employment due to injury or sickness, any increased or additional coverage will begin on the date you return to active employment. Any decrease in coverage will take effect immediately but will not affect a payable claim that occurs prior to the decrease. WHEN DOES YOUR COVERAGE END? Your coverage under the policy or a plan ends on the earliest of: - the date the policy or a plan is cancelled; - the date you no longer are in an eligible group; - the date your eligible group is no longer covered; - the last day of the period for which you made any required contributions; or - the last day you are in active employment except as provided under the covered layoff or leave of absence provision. Unum will provide coverage for a payable claim which occurs while you are covered under the policy or plan. WHAT ARE THE TIME LIMITS FOR LEGAL PROCEEDINGS? You can start legal action regarding your claim 60 days after proof of claim has been given and up to 3 years from the later of when original proof of your claim was first required to have been given; or your claim was denied; or your benefits were terminated, unless otherwise provided under federal law. HOW CAN STATEMENTS MADE IN YOUR APPLICATION FOR THIS COVERAGE BE USED? Unum considers any statements you or your Employer make in a signed application for coverage a representation and not a warranty. If any of the statements you or your Employer make are not complete and/or not true at the time they are made, we can: - reduce or deny any claim; or - cancel your coverage from the original effective date. We will use only statements made in a signed application as a basis for doing this. If the Employer gives us information about you that is incorrect, we will: - use the facts to decide whether you have coverage under the plan and in what amounts; and - make a fair adjustment of the premium. EMPLOYEE-2 (2/1/2016) 13

HOW WILL UNUM HANDLE INSURANCE FRAUD? Unum wants to ensure you and your Employer do not incur additional insurance costs as a result of the undermining effects of insurance fraud. Unum promises to focus on all means necessary to support fraud detection, investigation, and prosecution. It is a crime if you knowingly, and with intent to injure, defraud or deceive Unum, or provide any information, including filing a claim, that contains any false, incomplete or misleading information. These actions, as well as submission of materially false information, will result in denial of your claim, and are subject to prosecution and punishment to the full extent under state and/or federal law. Unum will pursue all appropriate legal remedies in the event of insurance fraud. DOES THE POLICY REPLACE OR AFFECT ANY WORKERS' COMPENSATION OR STATE DISABILITY INSURANCE? The policy does not replace or affect the requirements for coverage by any workers' compensation or state disability insurance. DOES YOUR EMPLOYER ACT AS YOUR AGENT OR UNUM'S AGENT? For purposes of the policy, your Employer acts on its own behalf or as your agent. Under no circumstances will your Employer be deemed the agent of Unum. EMPLOYEE-3 (2/1/2016) 14

HOW DOES UNUM DEFINE DISABILITY? SHORT TERM DISABILITY BENEFIT INFORMATION You are disabled when Unum determines that: - you are limited from performing the material and substantial duties of your regular occupation due to your sickness or injury; and - you have a 20% or more loss in weekly earnings due to the same sickness or injury. You must be under the regular care of a physician in order to be considered disabled. HOW LONG MUST YOU BE DISABLED BEFORE YOU ARE ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE BENEFITS? You must be continuously disabled through your elimination period. If your disability is the result of an injury that occurs while you are covered under the plan, your elimination period is 7 days. If your disability is the result of a sickness, your elimination period is 7 days. CAN YOU SATISFY YOUR ELIMINATION PERIOD IF YOU ARE WORKING? Yes, provided you meet the definition of disability. WHEN WILL YOU BEGIN TO RECEIVE PAYMENTS? You will begin to receive payments when we approve your claim, providing the elimination period has been met and you are disabled. We will send you a payment weekly for any period for which Unum is liable. HOW MUCH WILL UNUM PAY YOU IF YOU ARE DISABLED? We will follow this process to figure your payment: 1. Multiply your weekly earnings by 66.6667%. 2. The maximum weekly benefit is $2,000. 3. Compare the answer from Item 1 with the maximum weekly benefit. The lesser of these two amounts is your gross disability payment. 4. Subtract from your gross disability payment any deductible sources of income. The amount figured in Item 4 is your weekly payment. Your weekly payment may be reduced based on your disability earnings. If, at any time after the elimination period, you are disabled for less than 1 week, we will send you 1/7th of your weekly payment for each day of disability. STD-BEN-1 (2/1/2016) 15

WHAT ARE YOUR WEEKLY EARNINGS? "Weekly Earnings" means your gross weekly income from your Employer, not including shift differential, in effect just prior to your date of disability. It includes your total income before taxes. It is prior to any deductions made for pre-tax contributions to a qualified deferred compensation plan, Section 125 plan or flexible spending account. It does not include income received from commissions, bonuses, overtime pay or any other extra compensation or income received from sources other than your Employer. WHAT WILL WE USE FOR WEEKLY EARNINGS IF YOU BECOME DISABLED DURING A COVERED LAYOFF OR LEAVE OF ABSENCE? If you become disabled while you are on a covered layoff or leave of absence, we will use your weekly earnings from your Employer in effect just prior to the date your absence begins. HOW MUCH WILL UNUM PAY YOU IF YOU ARE DISABLED AND WORKING? We will send you the weekly payment if you are disabled and your weekly disability earnings, if any, are less than 20% of your weekly earnings. If you are disabled and your weekly disability earnings are from 20% through 80% of your weekly earnings, you will receive payments based on the percentage of income you are losing due to your disability. We will follow this process to figure your payment: 1. Subtract your disability earnings from your weekly earnings. 2. Divide the answer in Item 1 by your weekly earnings. This is your percentage of lost earnings. 3. Multiply your weekly payment as shown above by the answer in Item 2. This is the amount Unum will pay you for each week. Unum may require you to send proof of your disability earnings each week. We will adjust your weekly payment based on your disability earnings. As part of your proof of disability earnings, we can require that you send us appropriate financial records, which may include income tax returns, which we believe are necessary to substantiate your income. HOW DO WE PROTECT YOU IF YOUR DISABILITY EARNINGS FLUCTUATE? If your disability earnings have fluctuated from week to week, Unum may determine your benefit eligibility based on the average of your disability earnings over the most recent 3 weeks. WHAT ARE DEDUCTIBLE SOURCES OF INCOME? Unum will subtract from your gross disability payment the following deductible sources of income: 1. The amount that you receive as disability income or disability retirement payments under any: STD-BEN-2 (2/1/2016) 16

- state compulsory benefit act or law. - group plan sponsored by your Employer. - other group insurance plan. - governmental retirement system. 2. The amount that you receive: - under the mandatory portion of any "no fault" motor vehicle plan. - under Title 46, United States Code Section 688 (The Jones Act). - from a third party (after subtracting attorney's fees) by judgment, settlement or otherwise. 3. The amount that you receive as retirement payments under any governmental retirement system. Retirement payments do not include payments made at the later of age 62 or normal retirement age under your Employer's retirement plan which are attributable to contributions you made on a post tax basis to the system. Regardless of how retirement payments are distributed, Unum will consider payments attributable to your post tax contributions to be distributed throughout your lifetime. Amounts received do not include amounts rolled over or transferred to any eligible retirement plan.

In order to be eligible for rehabilitation services and benefits, you must be medically able to engage in a return to work program. Your claim file will be reviewed by one of Unum's rehabilitation professionals to determine if a rehabilitation program might help you return to gainful employment. As your file is reviewed, medical and vocational information will be analyzed to determine an appropriate return to work program.

HOW DOES UNUM DEFINE DISABILITY? LONG TERM DISABILITY BENEFIT INFORMATION You are disabled when Unum determines that: - you are limited from performing the material and substantial duties of your regular occupation due to your sickness or injury; and - you have a 20% or more loss in your indexed monthly earnings due to the same sickness or injury. After 24 months of payments, you are disabled when Unum determines that due to the same sickness or injury, you are unable to perform the duties of any gainful occupation for which you are reasonably fitted by education, training or experience. You must be under the regular care of a physician in order to be considered disabled. HOW LONG MUST YOU BE DISABLED BEFORE YOU ARE ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE BENEFITS? You must be continuously disabled through your elimination period. Unum will treat your disability as continuous if your disability stops for 30 days or less during the elimination period. The days that you are not disabled will not count toward your elimination period. Your elimination period is the later of: - 180 days; or - the date your insured Short Term Disability payments end, if applicable. You are not required to have a 20% or more loss in your indexed monthly earnings due to the same injury or sickness to be considered disabled during the elimination period. CAN YOU SATISFY YOUR ELIMINATION PERIOD IF YOU ARE WORKING? Yes. If you are working while you are disabled, the days you are disabled will count toward your elimination period. WHEN WILL YOU BEGIN TO RECEIVE PAYMENTS? You will begin to receive payments when we approve your claim, providing the elimination period has been met and you are disabled. We will send you a payment monthly for any period for which Unum is liable. HOW MUCH WILL UNUM PAY YOU IF YOU ARE DISABLED? We will follow this process to figure your payment: 1. Multiply your monthly earnings by 60%. 2. The maximum monthly benefit is $10,000. LTD-BEN-1 (2/1/2016) 23

3. Compare the answer from Item 1 with the maximum monthly benefit. The lesser of these two amounts is your gross disability payment. 4. Subtract from your gross disability payment any deductible sources of income. The amount figured in Item 4 is your monthly payment. Your monthly payment may be reduced based on your disability earnings. If, at any time after the elimination period, you are disabled for less than 1 month, we will send you 1/30 of your monthly payment for each day of disability and 1/30 of any additional benefits for each day of disability. WILL UNUM EVER PAY MORE THAN 100% OF MONTHLY EARNINGS? The total benefit payable to you on a monthly basis (including all benefits provided under this plan) will not exceed 100% of your monthly earnings. However, if you are participating in Unum's Rehabilitation and Return to Work Assistance program, the total benefit payable to you on a monthly basis (including all benefits provided under this plan) will not exceed 110% of your monthly earnings. WHAT ARE YOUR MONTHLY EARNINGS? "Monthly Earnings" means your gross monthly income from your Employer, not including shift differential, in effect just prior to your date of disability. It includes your total income before taxes. It is prior to any deductions made for pre-tax contributions to a qualified deferred compensation plan, Section 125 plan or flexible spending account. It does not include income received from commissions, bonuses, overtime pay or any other extra compensation or income received from sources other than your Employer. WHAT WILL WE USE FOR MONTHLY EARNINGS IF YOU BECOME DISABLED DURING A COVERED LAYOFF OR LEAVE OF ABSENCE? If you become disabled while you are on a covered layoff or leave of absence, we will use your monthly earnings from your Employer in effect just prior to the date your absence begins. HOW MUCH WILL UNUM PAY YOU IF YOU ARE DISABLED AND WORKING? We will send you the monthly payment if you are disabled and your monthly disability earnings, if any, are less than 20% of your indexed monthly earnings, due to the same sickness or injury. If you are disabled and your monthly disability earnings are from 20% through 80% of your indexed monthly earnings, due to the same sickness or injury, Unum will figure your payment as follows: During the first 12 months of payments, while working, your monthly payment will not be reduced as long as disability earnings plus the gross disability payment does not exceed 100% of indexed monthly earnings. 1. Add your monthly disability earnings to your gross disability payment. 2. Compare the answer in Item 1 to your indexed monthly earnings. LTD-BEN-2 (2/1/2016) 24

If the answer from Item 1 is less than or equal to 100% of your indexed monthly earnings, Unum will not further reduce your monthly payment. If the answer from Item 1 is more than 100% of your indexed monthly earnings, Unum will subtract the amount over 100% from your monthly payment. After 12 months of payments, while working, you will receive payments based on the percentage of income you are losing due to your disability. 1. Subtract your disability earnings from your indexed monthly earnings. 2. Divide the answer in Item 1 by your indexed monthly earnings. This is your percentage of lost earnings. 3. Multiply your monthly payment by the answer in Item 2. This is the amount Unum will pay you each month. As part of your proof of disability earnings, we can require that you send us appropriate financial records, which may include income tax returns, which we believe are necessary to substantiate your income. After the elimination period, if you are disabled for less than 1 month, we will send you 1/30 of your payment for each day of disability. HOW DO WE PROTECT YOU IF YOUR DISABILITY EARNINGS FLUCTUATE? If your disability earnings have fluctuated from month to month, Unum may determine your benefit eligibility based on the average of your disability earnings over the most recent 3 months. WHAT ARE DEDUCTIBLE SOURCES OF INCOME? Unum will subtract from your gross disability payment the following deductible sources of income: 1.

Retirement payments do not include payments made at the later of age 62 or normal retirement age under your Employer's retirement plan which are attributable to contributions you made on a post tax basis to the system. Regardless of how retirement payments are distributed, Unum will consider payments attributable to your post tax contributions to be distributed throughout your lifetime. Amounts received do not include amounts rolled over or transferred to any eligible retirement plan.

Once Unum has subtracted any deductible source of income from your gross disability payment, Unum will not further reduce your payment due to a cost of living increase from that source. WHAT IF UNUM DETERMINES YOU MAY QUALIFY FOR DEDUCTIBLE INCOME BENEFITS?
